"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

So there is this cute asian girl who is always see at the gym the same time that i go. I always see her but don't approach as i've read its not cool to pick up chicks at gym.

Yesterday while i was using the bench press she walks up to me and asked to borrow 3bucks to buy a snack as she was hungry. Kinda caught me off guard but i used this opening to introduce myself plus ask her name as well.
I lend her the cash and she promise to pay me back next time she see's me.


Today i saw her again so i walk up to her and said "Hello" and hoping to talk to her as well. She gives me a half smile and continues her workout completely ignoring me so i walk away like a loser.
So i go about doing my workout but little pissed off but i do not show it.
Later i run into her at the water fountain but she does not acknowledge me at all.

If she would of been cool with me from the start i would not have taken the money if she had tried to pay me back. But she has made no attempt so
my question is should i walk up to her and ask for my 3 bucks back. I know it sounds silly but she is acting like a bit*h. Thoughts????
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Ask for your 3 bucks back. Tell her you are hungry and you forgot the wallet in your car.

So she just walks up to you out of the blue and asks for money?

Did she talk to you a little first,or did she just say "hi" and ask for the money?

So all of this happened the next day,the day after you lend her the money.


So what happened right after you lent her the money? Did she just say thank you,then walk away without speaking to you again?

Uhh.....YEAH.


What are you doing giving out your money to STRANGERS to begin with?


Your question was whether you were played or not.


Yes,you were played,but not this girl.



You played YOURSELF.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

You should be more assertive man. Smile but tell her: "O.K. very funny. Give me my money back."

But there is always the possibility that:

a) She is some hard core leech and she is used to get away with it. She always uses guys who stare at her all night long and don't make a move.

b) You know how east Asian people look all the same to us? Well, maybe she is not that girl, who steal your money, dude :D

Take care esse

yeah man, sounds more like you played yourself by trying to play it cool instead of just being a regular person, saying hi when you recognize her, and asking for your money back.

Why did you give her 3 bucks in the first place? You'd never talked to her before... You could've at least asked her name in return for the money, or bought her the food herself so you would've had time to talk to her...

Learn from this and not make the same mistake again. Never give money to women, especially if they have not earned it. Would you give money if she were fat and ugly? Looks like she has probably done it many times before and have always gotten away with it. You are just one of many victims.

man that is so hilarious thank you for the laugh. If only you needed the money and she lent it to you and you did the same to her, it would drive her crazy! i so want to do this!
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
